{"product_id":"9781906733872","title":"Studying Early and Silent Cinema","description":"In this accessible introduction to early and silent cinema, which is currently enjoying a renaissance, both academically and in the popular imagination thanks to The Artist, Keith Withall provides both a comprehensive chronology of the period until the birth of sound and also a series of detailed case studies on the key films from the period – some well known (including Griffith’s The Birth of a Nation, Eisenstein’s Strike and Chaplin’s The Kid), some perhaps less well familiar (including Murnau’s The Last Laugh and Oscar Micheaux’s Within Our Gates). As well as covering in detail the major film-making figures and nations of the period, the author also provides insights into the industry in less well documented areas. Throughout, the films and film-makers are placed in the context of rapid worldwide industrial change. (Please note this book is a revised and expanded version of Early and Silent Cinema: A Teacher's Guide, published by Auteur in 2007.)","brand":"Auteur","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47173955027184,"sku":"9781906733872","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781906733872_p0.jpg?v=1763616804","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781906733872","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
